I’m a storyteller at heart, and I’ve used my love of and gift for story in creating compelling branded content, user journeys, and business narratives.

I’ve been writing since my stint as head journalist for my high school paper, and I haven’t stopped since. I’ve been in digital marketing for over nine years and SEO informs everything I put online. I’ve written web copy, ad text, white papers, financial reports, blog posts, pitch decks, press releases, product manuals, long-form articles, ghostwritten features, and just about everything else.

Working as a technology and financial journalist, I’ve honed my data game, and prize and prioritize quality research.

I’ve worked with a score of writers in a proofreading and editorial capacity for over 13 years. I’ve been involved in the editorial process from execution to management to strategic leadership. I’ve worked as an editor-in-chief, a copy editor, and in a technical editing capacity across various industry verticals and can translate my skills and experience to any industry.

I’ve managed social communities for nearly a decade, and have grown follower audiences from 0 to tens of thousands per platform for a wide assortment of clients. I’ve also been involved with organizing community events, ranging from coding clubs to volunteer entrepreneurship coaching programmes, to a series of TEDx Youth events in my city. 

You name it, I’ve used it as a marketing tactic. I’ve been deeply involved in the online marketing space for the majority of my career and have marketed innumerous products, services, and companies using every trending or evergreen online (and at times offline) marketing platform and technique out there.

I’ve led public relations for tech startups and managed PR for Europe as head of multimedia communications during my corporate years. I’ve trained businesses to develop and manage crisis communication plans, and have been personally involved in such operations for a number of organizations. I’ve also been involved with internal communications, including being on the project team that created and rolled out a global intranet for 12,000 employees, and heading up engagement for said platform.

My career is a gracious dance between people and product, and has led to valuable experience working together to accomplish a shared mission. I’ve worked on and led various in-house, freelance, and inter-business department and project teams. I believe people are the key to a successful product. I’ve been a full-time remote worker for over two years and am a fierce proponent of the opportunities brought about by a global remote workforce.
